Welcome to the Ohio Minds Matter module on Depression. This module is the first in a series of modules to provide information on youth mental health.  

This module will help you understand and manage depression in youth. Primary care providers with the right knowledge and skills can make a dramatic impact on the lives of young people and their families.  

At the end of this module, you will be able to use evidence-based tools to help identify childhood depression, gather additional information to characterize symptoms of depression, and initiate a family-centered treatment plan.
